I chose to research Chris because his photographs are beautiful and full of amazing skies, reflections and landscapes.
Chris Collacott is a talented panoramic landscape photographer who is interested in cityscape and landscape photography. He has received more than 30 international awards in just five years and his work has appeared at many galleries, magazines, airports and also on buses. He is the owner of Avision Photography.

Chris started a career in Information Technology, so his travels were limited to the weekends and holidays. He would take three or four photos side by side to make panoramic as a form of documenting his adventures. In 2008 he purchased his first DSLR. By 2012, Chris had sold nearly five thousand fine art prints, and with consistent revenue, he was able to quit his corporate IT job.

Chris is based in Canada and has also participated as a judge for the Epson International Panoramic Awards and regularly teaches advanced photographic workshops around the world. Collacott’s stunning attention to detail has gained him such accomplishments as a 23 foot mural for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.

"It is a steady hand and adherence to age-old photographic principles that makes his photos come to life- composition, location and an eye for the dramatic."
I took inspiration from Chris and experimented with panoramas...
